Quick question about Arrays

[wishbone34]

Hi, say i have a class and I create an array within the constructor in the class, and then i have a method and i want to add to the array in that method, how would I go about doing that? (my array is an array of Grade objects in a Grade support class i have made)

here is what i have been trying:
[CODE=java]public class GradeList {

public GradeList(int n) {
Grade[] grades= new Grade[n];
}

public void add(double max, double weight){
int i=0;
grades[i]=new Grade(max, weight);
//i get an error saying that variable grades cannot be found
i++;
}
}[/CODE]

Any help that would allow me to do what im trying to accomplish would be appreciated, thank you!

That's because grades is declared (and thus destroyed) within your constructor. It no longer exists when you get to add. Make grades a private data member, declared outside the constructor and any methods. Then take out the Grade keyword in front of grades in your constructor, and you should be fine.
